Facts 4.4 km, 43 levels 439*421 points / 1931.6 * 1852.4 km Aladin cy35t1 ALARO 3MT Timestep: 180s 3h ARPEGE LBC
Observations All OPLACE observations, except METOP and NOAA-19 local NON-GTS SYNOP data No assimilation of SYNOP T2m and RH2m in 3DVAR
ODB / bator • Merge of locally prepared obsoul and OPLACE for conv • Created by subbases: conv amdr geow wpro sats sevb • Fix in BATOR to avoid crash in case of no observations selected by lamflag • Blacklisting not modified (from Hungary)
Screening & minimization Constant bias correction: VARBC tested, but not yet sufficiently validated NITER=70, NSIMU=80 B matrix computed for July 2007 (~ 450 forecast differences), (downscaled) ensemble method REDNMC=1.3 (not tuned yet)
Verification T 850 FF 700 2m RH and T assimilation? Z 700
Problems “Packing bug” Negative Ts at some grid point Disappears if fields not packed (NVGRIB=0) Reproducible on some clusters, on others not Final solution: not pack surface fields (~10 % increase in file size)
Developments I LSAF Albedo
Developments II Snow assimilation (CANARI + LSAF)
Near future tasks Production suite + visualization and verification in operations Validate VARBC Improve observational usage Estimate/tune observational and background errors Add CANARI snow analysis Test and validate 3 hour RUC
Longer term Assimilate aircraft data, collected by a radar in Ljubljana airport (not really AMDAR) Test IASI and probably use it (will have 1py in 2011 - 2012)
